Writers Vote.


Writers Vote: The Writers Guild of America The Writers Guild of America is a term often referring to the joint efforts of the Writers Guild of America, East and the Writers Guild of America, west. Jointly, the two guilds act as the collective bargaining representative, or labor union, for writers in the motion picture and  resolved a long-running leadership crisis by electing Daniel Petrie Jr. as president. Victoria Riskin resigned from the post when she had been deemed ineligible after her election last year. Her replacement, Charles Holland Charles Holland may refer to:
  • Charles Holland (actor) (1733–1769), English actor
  • Charles R. Holland, former Commander at United States Special Operations Command
  • Charles Holland (cyclist) (1908–1989), English road bicycle racer
, then had to quit after it was revealed he lied on his resume. Petrie was seen as the candidate of stability in the election, which pitted him against reform-minded Eric Hughes Eric Hughes (born in England) was a rugby league player for the Widnes Vikings, Canterbury Bulldogs and for the Great Britain national side. He unwittingly added confusion to the Canterbury side as he played at the same time as the three Hughes brothers Garry, Graeme and Mark. .
